I'm working with an asp.net page within a masterpage. I am trying to alert people on an entry page when they try and leave the page. The message pops up just fine, but when I click cancel it still navigates away. What am I doing wrong?<br />

<pre><code id="code-8245382">jQuery(function ($) {

        /* global on unload notification */
        warning = true;

        if (warning) {
            $(window).bind(&quot;unload&quot;, function () {
                if (confirm(&quot;Do you want to leave this page&quot;) == true) {
                    //they pressed OK 
                    alert('ok');
                } else {
                    // they pressed Cancel 
                   // alert('cancel');
                    return false;
                }
            });
        }

Alert when navigating away from page

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

jQuery

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
